Communication can be so difficult!

Why did God make men and women so different? It would be nice if we were born knowing how to communicate correctly to the opposite sex!

Last night's conversation should have been a great one but it was not. The conversation ended with you hanging up on me. I cried myself to sleep. Why did God make men and women so different? It would be nice to have conversations that didn't end that way on a more regular basis. But honestly, between all of his "issues" and my insecurities, our conversations do not usually go very well. How can you love someone so much and not be able to have a decent conversation with them?

Am I the only wife out there who feels she should rank above everyone else in her husbands life (except for their children)? I constantly feel like we are not in a marriage alone, it should just be us and God, but there always seems to be other people in our marriage. How do I change my entire thought process? I know I need to change how I look at things and react, but to be honest I am a pretty stubborn person and struggle with change myself everyday. I should have known that I was not in the right frame of mind to talk to him last night, I should have just said. "Baby I miss you, I love you, Ill see you tomorrow!" Why didn't I? The negative talk in my head would say I didn't do that because I'm stupid or that it is all his fault but I know thats not true. I cannot blame every argument on him, I have to take responsibility for my actions also. But...how do I do that? Is it simple enough to just apologize and truly mean it? Then the negative talk sneaks back in telling me that if I am not perfect he will leave me. Mrs. Negative Talk and Mr. PTSD Troll I have to let go of you and turn all the worries and pain you bring to me over to God.

Only God can handle you and heal me from all the wounds you have left me with. So here is my plan, 1) apologize when Paul gets home and pray he accepts it 2) pray to God every night and turn all my worries over to him 3) start taking responsibility for my own feelings and actions...I am only human and yes I am flawed but I think those three things are goals that I can work on and build from!
